I just read the post about the guy who bought a busa for a first bike. And in my search for a bike for my fiancee I came across a page showing an '80 Yamaha SR250 ,which is the bike I rode in high school (way back in the mid-80's) and did it bring back some memories.

Anyway my point... What was your first "real" motorcycle? I'm not talking about riding your cousin's moped around the block, I mean your first real bike. Did you put in your time on a little 250 or something similar? Or did you start out on a turbo-nitrous busa?

:jacked: sorry:jacked:

The "War Eagle" is one of Auburn's "ledgends" you could say. It is actually more of a war cry instead of a second mascot. In short in the early 1900s an civil war vet came to watch a auburn football game. part of the way through the game auburn was getting beat badly, well the eagle took off from the veteran that was holding him and started circleling the stadium. This in turn got every one going and auburn came back to win...

This is only one of the handful of explainations out there, but probably one of the most common ones. Auburn Unuversity War Eagle explainations

ok, now to end my :jacked:
